Cricket is not just a sport in India—it's an emotion that echoes through every street, alley, and open field across the country. For decades, tennis-ball street cricket has been the heartbeat of local communities, giving rise to countless legends in their own neighborhoods. But what if that raw, unfiltered street talent had a stage? A real stage—one with rules, rewards, visibility, and national recognition?

Welcome to ITPL‑T10, India’s first-of-its-kind professional tennis-ball T10 cricket league, where street cricket gets the spotlight it has always deserved.

What Is ITPL‑T10?

ITPL-T10 (Indian Tennis-Ball Premier League) is not just another cricket league—it's a revolution. Designed to bridge the gap between street-level cricket and professional sports, ITPL-T10 offers a nationwide platform for amateur players to showcase their skills in a structured and competitive format.

With its fast-paced 10-over format, ITPL-T10 blends the thrill of quick-fire cricket with the accessibility of the tennis ball—a format loved by millions but previously ignored by mainstream cricketing bodies.

Why Tennis-Ball Cricket Deserves the Spotlight

Tennis-ball cricket is the true grassroots form of the game. Played everywhere from village greens to metro rooftops, this format fosters natural talent, creativity, and flair. However, until now, players rarely had a way to progress beyond their local circles.

ITPL-T10 changes that narrative by offering:

• Nationwide player registration
• Local trials and selection camps
• Zonal/state team opportunities
• A national-level auction & league structure
• Live scoring, match coverage, and digital engagement

This isn't just a tournament—it's a career path for the next generation of cricketing stars.

The Format: Fast, Fierce, and Fan-Friendly

With every match lasting around 90 minutes, ITPL-T10 follows a T10 format (10 overs per side). This high-intensity structure makes games more thrilling and accessible—perfect for modern fans with shorter attention spans and a hunger for non-stop action.

And unlike traditional hard-ball cricket, tennis-ball games reduce injury risks, lower barriers to entry, and allow more inclusive participation across age groups and skill levels.

Fair Play, Real Governance

A major concern with many local cricket tournaments is the lack of governance and transparency. ITPL-T10 sets itself apart by establishing:

• A strict code of conduct
• Verified team ownership
• Commercial rights and responsibilities
• A detailed rulebook and player guidelines

With its clearly defined structure, the league aims to bring credibility and professionalism to a format that has long existed in the shadows.

A Digital-First Experience

Cricket fans love stats, replays, and drama—and ITPL-T10 delivers all of it with a tech-savvy twist. From a dedicated mobile app to live scores, match highlights, team news, and event updates, the league offers fans and players a deeply immersive digital experience.

This not only builds a strong fanbase but also gives players a public profile—essential for career growth in the age of online scouting and social proof.
